i have a 99 LS with an aem v2 and skunk2 full catback exaust. im looking at the DC 4-1 headers. whats the difference between the 4-2-1.

 

4-2-1 = more low end power (better for non-vtec cars)
4-1 = more high end power (better for vtec cars)

 

header

 

dont waste your money on DC, they make little to no power over stock. Save your money and buy something that will actually make power like hytech, smsp, profab, rmf....

he is probably looking to stay legal in san diego and all. but its true you wont get much power from a DC

 

I'm interested as well. If not DC, what will add some power to an LS? hytech, smsp, profab, rmf?

4-2-1 sounds like the way to go for the B18B1.

i personally wouldnt pay 350+ for a header...i think some of those headers even reach 500...unless you have a serious all motor setup that youre trying to squeeze every ounce of power out of...stay away from those top notch headers because you wont see the gains youre expecting with a pretty mild or bone stock engine..

they get into the $1000-1200 range

yea i definately wouldnt drop that kind of cash on a header unless i was out the *** all motor and determined to break some kind of hp barrier

Ive seen some good used headers, such as pro-fab go for around 400-450 and they make very good numbers

 

4-2-1 would be best for your daily driven setup.

Ha, most of those headers START at $500...Your not going to see a huge increase in power with a dc header but it is deffinately better than a stock manifold. The JDM DC 4-1 with 2.5" collector is probably the best header if u can find one for relatively cheap. Like me, got mine for 100 bucks. But no i wouldnt but it new($450+)

 

South Bay Surfer (7:58 PM 7/10/2006): I bought the Jdm 4-1 Dc for $50 from an H-T member. I can definitely feel the difference. I've also had the ITR header, and the feel almost identical. As a matter of fact, it feels more responsive with the Dc.

 

herd anything good or bad about the comptech headers?
